Influence of proton irradiation on properties of Nichia single-quantum-well AlGaN/InGaN/GaN green-light emitting diodes is studied for the first time. A dose of 2.3 Mrad of protons produced by a nuclear microprobe degraded the room-temperature light emission from the irradiated area of the device, while the electrical device characteristics remained practically unchanged. At low temperatures (~ 15 K), the light emission recovers almost entirely, thus indicating the formation of a non-radiative recombination channel within the active region.
